Who Moderates the Moderators?
« on: June 29, 2008, 10:37:21 PM »
Just thought I'd ask.

Lately it depends on "Who" you are "When" you say it. Some rules are are bent beyond belief, yet a simple infraction is met with a swift stick.

Can I become a Moderator?

Talk to HT. I did it for 5 years in this game's grand daddy....I want no part of it here. I do know that monitors here (unlike AOHell and Gamestorm) are not paid and are not scheduled. This would explain the "When". As for the "Who", a simple call or email to Skuzzy can clear any abuse up (he just loves it when I send crap his way :D).

I hear ya but on a Sunday Night at 10:40 pm I doubt Skuzz is reading emails.

It just burns my backside a bit.

Oh well.  Score one for the Mod.

Skuzzy is good with all of this.  I just wish the MODs had the same mindset as Skuzzy and not biased.

Learn and Live.

What I can't figure out is why they should need Mods at all.  You'd think that folks could think before they typed.  It just can't be that hard to use a little common sense.

I don't recall ever having to deal with a Mod either in AW or here and that's a lot of years now.  I'd love to believe that somehow I'm above and beyond the capability of the crowd, but we all know that's not true, so if a simpleton like me can manage to avoid the mods, you'd think some of the above and beyond types could handle it too :)

Oh man, you'd be surprised.  The pace at which the universe is producing idiots is vastly out gaining common sense people.

Our first example is CMustard (even though he usually holds his tounge unless angered :noid), our 2nd is Stephen Waldren.

..."time in the stockade"....
